Sexual Violence (VAWDASV) Partnership Board may soon be seeking a replacement for Independent Domestic Violence Advisor (IDVA) Services. The Commissioner wishes to continue to provide a single IDVA Service across the Gwent area. IDVAs work to address the safety of people at high risk of domestic abuse from intimate partners, ex-partners and family members to secure their safety and the safety of their children. Operating as the primary point of contact, IDVAs typically work with their clients from the point of crisis to assess the risk, review options, and develop and implement plans to address their immediate safety, as well as longer-term solutions. Although the Service will not work directly with children under the age of sixteen (16), it will make referrals to safeguard children and adults at risk of harm and ensure appropriate signposting to specialist Services and following duty of report procedures to the relevant local authority when appropriate. The Service will be inclusive and be available for all clients affected by domestic abuse, from all protected characteristics as defined by The Equality Act 2010. The successful Contractor will be required to work in close partnership with other relevant Services to support overall Service delivery. The Commissioner is seeking an organisation that will effectively deliver this contract but also work as a key partner helping shape the region's approach to Violence against Women, Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence. Additional information: This PIN does not formally signify the beginning of any procurement exercise by the Commissioner, nor does it constitute a commitment by the Commissioner to undertake a procurement. However, in the event that the Commissioner decides to formally commence a procurement pursuant to this PIN, a separate contract notice will be published. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026365-2022 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Sep 2022 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 26 Oct 2022 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER FOR GWENT POLICE | | Locality | CWMBRAN | | Post town | Newport | | Postcode | NP44 3FW | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL53 Gwent Valleys | | Local authority | Torfaen | | Electoral ward | Llantarnam | | Westminster constituency | Torfaen | | Delivery location | TLL16 Gwent Valleys, TLL2 East Wales, TLL21 Monmouthshire and Newport | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 75200000 - Provision of services to the community - 85000000 - Health and social work services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 21 Sep 2022 at 11:57 - Planning - Planning Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/026365-2022 ## Notice URLs - http://www.gwent.police.uk - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/Search/Search_Switch.aspx?ID=124912 - https://www.sell2wales.gov.wales/search/Search_AuthProfile.aspx?ID=AA0384 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
